Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, Splenda Granulated Sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
